WILLIAM A. PERVIEB, OF WATERTOWN', MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR, BY MEBNE AB- SIGNMEHTS, TO WILLIAM A.. PERVIER, TRUSTEE, OF WATERTOWN, MASSACHU- SETTS.

Application filed July as, 1926. Serial no. 125,432.

The invention relates to an attachment fora cigarette holder.

The essential object of the invention is to provide an attachment that will function to receive and hold the ash dropping from the cigarette durin smoking.

A further oEjectof the invention is to provide an attachment that will function not onl as an ash receiver and holder as noted a ove, but one that also may be .con-

verted into a housing for the cigarette holder when not in use. e

In connection with the objects above outlined it is my furtherv purpose to provide an attachment attractive in appearance both as an'ash receptacle and as a housing for the holder, one that may be easily applied to the holder or disconnected from it, one that can be conveniently and easily changed from an ash receptacle into a housing for-the holder or vice versa, and one that is adjustable in character.-

The invention can best be seen and understood by reference to the drawings in which 26 embodiments thereof are shown and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the agerette holder fitted with an attachment embodying the invention, but which attachment so functions only as an ash receiver and holder.

Fig. 2 is a plan of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section thereof.

Fig. 4 isa view partly in side elevation and partly in section of the holder and attachment when occupyin a vertical position, showing the oapabl ity of a certain element of the attachment for receiving and holding ash when the holder is in a vertical position. a

Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5--5 of Fig. 3.

ig. 6 1s a side elevation of a 01 arette holder and attachment "embodying t e invention, which attachment is capable of functionin both as an ash receiver and holder an also as a housing for the cigarette holder when not in use, the attachment being shown functioning as a ash recelvcr and holder.

Fig. 7 is a section on the line 7-7 of Fig. 8 is a side elevation of the parts shown in Fi 6 excepting that the cigarette a5 holder has been reversed to fit inside the attachment which has been converted to function as-a housing for holding the cigarette holder when not in use.

Fig. 9 is a section on the line 9-9 of Flg. 8, and

Fig. 10' is a front end elevation of the housing as shown in Fig. 8.

Referring to the drawings 1 represents the cigarette holder. Of this 2 is the mouthpiece, 3 the body of the holder terminating in a fore end portion or butt 5 within which is formed a hole or cavity for receiving the cigarette 6 and to which leads a duct 7 as is customary in such holders.

8 represents the attachment for the holder. The attachment comprises an attaching member 9 in the. nature of a ferrule or ring into which the fore end or butt 5 of the holder is adapted to fit, the member 9 simply encirclin this butt. The holderis preferably provi ed with a flange 10 adjacent its butt against which the rear end of the attachlng member is adapted to bear, and the attaching member is referably in length s'ubstantlally equal to the length of the butt.

Connecting with the under half of the attachingl member 9 at the fore end thereof (and t is preferably by an integral connectlon) is a prlmary casing member 11 generally semi-circular in cross section or troughlike in character. This member occupies an underslung positionwith relation to the attaching member 9 with extension forward thereof beneath the cigarette when borne by the holder.- Fittingover the pri- 90 mary member 11 and attached thereto to be slidable thereon telescopically is a secondary casing member 12. This member like the member 11 is generally semi-circular or troughlike in character and functions as an extension to the primary member 11. It is fitted to slide upon the member 11 by means of flanges 13 which turn in over the top edges 14 of the member 11. At its outer end the member 12 isprovided with a cupped end piece 15.

With the primary and secondary members -11 and 12 thus connected to one another and arranged beneath the cigarette when in place in the holder, they will operate to catch and hold all ash falling from the cigaretteas long as the holder and its attachment are held in horizontal or substantially horizontal position.

In order that the ash may still be reeven though the-holder be turned down to occupy a vertical position, the cupped end piece 15 of the; secondary member 12 is provided with a swinging tray or traylike member 16. This tray fits around theend piece 15 and has its same general form. It is hung to turn on the op csite sides of the and piece on pivots 1 the arrangement being such that when the holdor and attachment are turned downto occupy a substantiall vertical position, the tray will turn pivota ly and occupy a position substantially as shown in Fig. 4 where it is (shown 'co-operating with the end piece 15 to form a receptacle into which the ash may fall and be retained. As the parts are xceptin t at the primary and casing mem rs 11 and 12 are made eeper than the same parts shown in the construction iust described and exce also,for a slight change in the jointconnection between the members, the

parts are subflantially the same as first de-.

The members 11 and 12 are made moved from it.

deeper simply by moulding them to have a more precise semi-circular form in cross section; so ,that when the two members are combined, fitting one on top of the other, the w ;will form. substantially av complete cirular or housing. The telescopic .agointgbetween the two members 11 and. 12 of the present construction is preferably obprovi the opposite top out-turned flanges 18 on v ges 14 of the member 11 while .the edges of the member 12 are rovided with grooved wa s 19 slidable on t ese 5 4 1 and by which t e member 12 is movable telescopically on the member 11 or re- W'ith the parts thus arranged as shown in 6 the attachment will function as. an ash holder precisely the same as the form of the attachment first described.

rette holder being simp The same parts are convertible to have an ent as shown in Fi 8 where they act as a housing for the cigarette holder when not in use, as follows: It will first be assumed that the entire attachment has been removed from the cigarette holder and the casing member 12 removed from the member 11 withdrawing it from this member. cigarette hol er is then placed within the casing member 11 and the butt and of the holder inserted within the attaching member 9, the 'tion of the cigay reversed from the position ordinarily occupied by it when in use. The casing member 1.2 is than slid upon and over the member 11, the two memo the member 15. The clip and tongue are d$n:ed spring tongue 21 on the forward end for the ci arette holder when arr nged to have locking engagement with one another-only when the members 11 and 12 are combined to form a casing for the holder. The pivotedmember 16 is otherwise freely movable around the member 15, the cli .20 then moving along a groove 22 forme in the member 15.

Having thus fully described my invention,-

I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States 1. An attachment for a cigarette holder comprising an attaching ring member and trou hlike casing mem er fixed'to the ring mem er and extending therefrom, said members being adapted and arranged whereby the cigarette holder may be fitted into the ring member by insertion from either end thereof and the casing member serve as an ash receiver for the cigarette held by the holder when the holder is fitted into the ring by insertion from one end thereof and serve as a casing within which the holder lies when, the holder is fitted into the ring by insertion from the other end thereof, and a further casing member attached to the casing member first mentioned and covering said holder when the holder is arranged to lie in the first member as aforesaid.

2. An attachment for a cigarette holder comprising an attachable member by which the attachment is secured to the holder, 9.

primary troughlike casing member extendmg from said attaching member, a secondary troughlike casing member, and means for telescopically attaching the secondary casing-member to the primary member whereby it will form either an extension thereof or be convertible to co-operate therewith and form a housing for the holder when not in use.

3. attachment for a cigarette holder comprising an attachable member by which the attachment is secured to the holder, a

primary trou hlike casing member extend mg from sai attaching member, a seconda troughlike casing member, means for te escopically connecting said primary and secondary casing members whereby they may be united to form an ash receiver or be convertible to form a housing for the ci arette holder when not in use, and a traylike member pivotally connected to said secondary casing member and co-operating with said casing members to assist in them formation of both an ash receiver and a housing as aforesaid.

4. An attachment for a cigarette holder comprising an attachable ring, a primary troughlike casing member fixed to the ringand extending from it, a secondary troughlike casing member having a cupped end, a traylike member pivotally secured to the cupped end of the secondary member, and means for telescopically attaching said secondary casing member to the primary casing member whereby all of said members may be combined to form either an ash receiver or be convertible to form a housing for enclosing the holder when not in use.
